词语用法

n. (名词)

1. condition的基本意思是“条件,地位”,是可数名词,用单复数形式均可,但表示“状态、状况”时,常指事物处于不正常的状况,多作不可数名词,如果其前有形容词修饰,可与不定冠词a连用; 表示“情况,环境,形势”时常用复数形式,多指一般的、笼统的情况。
2. condition也可表示“健康状况、良好状况或可使用的状况”,是不可数名词。
3. condition还可作“疾病”解,指身体状况不佳,是可数名词。
4. condition在美式英语中可以作“不及格科目”解。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

condition, circumstance, situation, state

• 这四个词都有“情况,状态,条件,状况”的意思。其区别在于:state是普通用语,指“情况,状态”,其存在形式并不是具体事物; situation指危急或重大的事态,侧重“事态”,也指“职位,职业”; condition和state相比意义较狭隘,指在思考中的事物的状态,“环境”所影响的“情况”,特指事物内部的条件和状态,用复数时指比较一般、笼统的情况,侧重于“状况”; circumstance指某种事件或动作发生时的情况,一般都用复数形式。例如:
• The country is in a troubled state.这个国家处于紊乱的状态中。
• Measures must be taken to meet this situation.必须设法应付这个局面。
• He is applying for a situation.他正在请求得到一个位置。
• The oranges may soon rot under present conditions.橘子在目前的状态下会很快腐烂的。
• I don't remember all the circumstances of the quarrel.我不记得争吵的所有情况。

注意比较下列英语和汉语的不同表达法:

• 我们应该把这个情况反映给老师。
• ［误］ We should report this condition to the teacher.
• ［正］ We should report this to the teacher.
• 我想了解一些有关他学习的情况。
• ［误］ I'd like to know some conditions about his studies.
• ［正］ I'd like to know something about his studies.
• 我不久便有条件买台彩电了。
• ［误］ I shall soon have conditions to buy a colour TV.
• ［正］ I shall soon have enough money to buy a colour TV.
• 我们实验室的条件很好。
• ［误］ The conditions of our laboratory are good.
• ［正］ Our laboratory is well equipped.

condition，state，status，situation，circumstance

• 这些名词均有“状况、情况”之意。
• condition一般强调产生影响的原因或环境，复数形式指笼统的情况。
• state普通用词，指人或物在环境、外表、心灵以及健康方面的状况，或指在某一阶段的状态或形式。
• status指一个人在政治、社会、经济、法律上的地位或身份，暗含地位显要意味。也可用于指政治等事态的状况。
• situation指明确具体的环境情况或处境。
• circumstance多指周围的情况或某事发生时的情况。

condition，terms

• 这两个名词均有“条件”之意。
• condition通常指为实现许诺、协议、计划、合同等而订出的必须遵守或满足的作为前提的条件或要求。
• terms指谈判或订立合同等时，一方或双方提出或同意的条件。

1. 史密斯先生的健康状况越来越差。

   误 The conditions of Mr. Smith are getting worse.

   正 The condition of Mr. Smith is getting worse.

   析 表示“健康状况”, condition为不可数名词,无复数形式。

2. 在这样有利的形势下,我们肯定获胜。

   误 In such favourable conditions, we will win without a shade of doubt.

   正 Under such favourable conditions, we will win without a shade of doubt.

   析 表示“在某种形势下”,应该用under conditions或under the condition。

3. 既然是这样,你还是看医生的好。

   正 In this case you had better consult a doctor.

   析 condition不能用来指具体的情况,“既然是这样”可说in this case。

4. 你应该好好保养汽车。

   误 You should try to keep the car in a good condition.

   正 You should try to keep the car in good condition.

   析 condition作“状况”解时，是不可数名词。
